[Elecraft] K3S's built-in RTTY

[Dave Fugleberg]

I'm not a huge RTTY guy, but I do operate it on occasion. The big
performance difference with using a PC is that there are several decoders
available, each with different strengths. These decoders typically have a
lot of options that can be tweaked to optimize them for conditions. It's
also possible to run multiple different decoders in parallel to see which
one decodes the best at any moment.
Having said that, I typically run whatever decoder is the default in
whatever software I'm using, and seldom adjust the parameters. And, when
the K3 is set to decode RTTY on its display, it generally does a remarkable
job on its own, at least on strong signals.
So, the built in stuff works well, but doesn't provide nearly the same
flexibility as computer based software.
